As a pro-2A organization, Carry-Texas.com is committed to providing our readers with accurate and unbiased information about developments that affect our right to bear arms. Recently, President Trump issued an Executive Order (EO) titled "Protecting Second Amendment Rights." In this article, we will provide an overview of the EO and discuss concerns surrounding the appointment of Pam Bondi as Attorney General, who will be tasked with implementing the order.
The Executive Order
The EO appears to be a directive for the Attorney General and the Domestic Policy Advisor to work together on developing a plan of action to address issues related to firearms and Federal firearms licensees. The order instructs the Attorney General to review agencies' plans, orders, and actions regarding the "enhanced regulatory enforcement policy" pertaining to firearms and Federal firearms licensees. However, it is essential to note that Section 4(c) of the EO explicitly states that the order does not create any new rights or benefits for individuals or groups related to Second Amendment rights.
Concerns about Pam Bondi
Pam Bondi, the nominee for Attorney General, has a mixed record on Second Amendment rights. As a former Florida Attorney General, she:
- Praised the Parkland gun control measures, which included "red flag" gun confiscation orders and a ban on 18-20 year olds owning guns.
- Defended Parkland's 18-20 year old gun ban and upheld Florida's unconstitutional ban on open carry.
- Helped draft a "gun violence restraining order," also known as a gun confiscation law, in Florida.
These actions have raised concerns among some gun owners that she may not be a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights. As the Attorney General tasked with implementing the EO, her record on this issue is troubling.
Conclusion
While the EO "Protecting Second Amendment Rights" may be seen as a step in the right direction, the appointment of Pam Bondi as Attorney General raises concerns about the implementation of the order. As a pro-2A organization, we will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on any developments that affect our right to bear arms. It is essential for gun owners to remain vigilant and hold their elected officials accountable for protecting our Constitutional rights.
Call to Action
We urge our readers to contact their Senators and express their concerns about Pam Bondi's nomination as Attorney General. It is crucial that we ensure that the person tasked with implementing the EO is a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights. Together, we can make sure that our voices are heard and our rights are protected.
